Versace Spring 2009
Versace’s Spring 2009 collection had a lot of structured, architectural-type pieces. Ultra-short mini-dresses were sculpted to form a tiny waist, and skirts were pleated and folded to create drama.
I particularly loved the constructed hearts, which appeared on a few pieces, as one big heart, or a flutter of smaller hearts.
Usually when I look at a Versace collection, I notice the gowns, but many of the pieces were ultra-short minis. Also on display were skinny capris, sleek metallic jackets,
The colour palette consisted yellows, light blues, black, bronze and white.
Other stand out pieces were the Julie Verhoeven prints as worn by Jourdan Dunn above. These were used on swimsuits, short-fitted dresses,maxi dresses and handbags.
I can so picture Cameron Diaz wearing some of those ultra short minis on the red carept.
No celebrities in the front row, as there were many parties last night and Versace’s show was late in the evening.
